News Stories Told by TRIES FEEDING HIS COWS FOUR TIMES A DAY; RESULT IS TWICE AS MUCH MILK Dayton Meta Pontiac Beets, champion butter cow of Ohio, and John Pogsett. By feeding cows four times a day and milking them at each feeding period (every six hours) John Hogsett, chief agriculturist of the Ohio state welfare department declares he is getting twice as much milk. The experiment was begun on the state welfare farms several months ago, and was first tried on pure-bred cows. Grade cows were put on the new plan of feeding later. It worked out successfully with both. No change was made in the amount of each ration, so the cows ate twice as much as they had previously. Counting the additional feed and labor cost, the experiment has so far been found profitable to the extent of more than $170 a cow. "NO WHITE WASH!"

This drawing, by Lee Rombotski of the University of Pennsylvania, won for him the Paris prize, a scholarship in architecture amounting to $5,000. Some time in the near future Congress is expected to give its attention to proposals for the construction of a new residence for the president of the United States. The present White House was declared unsafe in a report of the superintendent of buildings and grounds. Little or nothing has been done to it in the way of reconstruction since 1902. The south portico of the mansion, the first part constructed, was completed in 1823 and six years later, in 1829, the north portico was built, giving it its present aspect.
